“The shot was satisfactory.”
Did the earnestness toward winning reach? Jeong Yeon-joo (31, Daebang Engineering & Construction) took the lead on the first day of the Korea Women’s Professional Golf (KLPGA) tour Nexen Saint Nine Masters. She had been aiming for a finish rather than a win due to poor physical condition, but this year is different. I have a desire to win, and I am off to a good start.
In the first round of the tournament held on the 21st at Gaya Country Club Sineo Nakdong Course (par 72) located in Gimhae, Gyeongnam, Jung Yeon-ju tied three birdies including an eagle and took the lead with a 5 under par 67 strokes without bogey. On this day, despite the difficult environment due to the strong wind, they showed off their unwavering performance.메이저놀이터
After the first round, Jeong Yeon-joo said, “Today’s shot felt good. There were a lot of gusts of wind, so he missed a few shots, but he recovered well and was able to finish the game with a no-bogey,” he said.
On this day, Jeong Yeon-ju made birdies on holes 3 (par 5), 7 (par 4), and 10 (par 5). And she took the lead by catching an eagle on the 12th hole (par 4). This is the first article of the year. It’s a premonition that it will work out that well. In addition, since the first win in 2011, there has been no championship, so it is the first time in 12 years that the team has been looking for a championship.
Jeong Yeon-ju said, “Hall 12 was uphill, but I hit a 6-iron with 150 meters left. I couldn’t see him because it was uphill, but when he went up to the green, there were only two balls, so I looked and looked, but he went in. He said, “It’s also my first Eagle this year, and I think it will work out, and I feel good.”
At the same time, he also confessed his honest thoughts about winning. In the meantime, I had been aiming to finish, but this year I confessed that I was greedy.
Jeong Yeon-joo said, “I was desperate to win every year, but last year and the year before last, I was in poor condition, so I aimed to finish rather than win.” “It’s been a long time since I won. Watching professional Lee Jung-min win last year, I became greedy,” he emphasized.
If you do well in the remaining rounds, you can aim for the championship. He promised, “I don’t know what the wind will be like, but today’s shot felt good, so I’ll hit it tomorrow with confidence.”
On the other hand, Hwang Yoo-min (20, Lotte) and Kim Min-byeol (19, Hite Jinro), who were candidates for the Rookie of the Year, entered the race for the championship by hitting 4 under par 68 strokes to tie for second place. Lee So-mi (24, Daebang Construction) and Hong Ji-won (23, Yojin Construction), who won 5 wins in the KLPGA Tour, tied for 4th place (3 under par, 69 strokes), following behind. kmg@sportsseoul.com
